04:23The US envoy to Greenland that the United States had not changed a position when it comes to taking over
04:28or having Greenland. So this is still an issue that is particularly ongoing and should be taken seriously. I think
04:35that's the point as well. Maeve.
04:37Okay, Shona Murray, thank you so much for that update there from Ankara. And now to dive deeper into the
04:42outcomes of that NATO summit, we can bring in Jamie Shea, former NATO security advisor who spent many years here
04:48in the headquarters of NATO in Brussels. Jamie Shea, thank you so much for joining us. Curious to hear your
04:54view. Was this a successful NATO gathering?
04:57I think yes, ultimately it was and good morning to you too. And thanks for having me on the show.
05:02It ended better than it started. Clearly, Trump was in a more friendly mood towards the alliance in the private
05:09meeting. And I suppose that's the one that really counts.
05:11than in some of his public remarks. For example, he did say that the US is staying in the alliance.
05:17Somebody like Trump hearing that is not always to be taken for granted.
05:21He signed off on a communique, which may not be the most interesting thing for the media, but it's important
05:28for diplomats. The official text where the US committed itself to NATO Article 5 collective defence and called it ironclad.
05:36These were the kind of things that the allies wanted to hear. And of course, he also showed some satisfaction,
05:44unsurprisingly, with the fact that his message on defence spending has been heeded.
05:48Mark Rutter and the other allies were at pains to point out that over the last year, Europe and Canada
05:54have spent 11% more on defence. The figure now is about an extra $250 billion over the last two
06:02years on military budgets. So although five allies out of the 32 today are on that 5% target, so
06:10there's still a long way to go. Allies have until 2035, but all of them practically with a few laggards
06:17are moving
06:18in the right direction. So the summit was designed, of course, to be a Trump-pleasing summit by showing that
06:24the responsibility for NATO is moving both financially and militarily onto Europe. So I think, yes, people were expecting a
06:31rough ride with Trump. You always get that.
06:34But as they said about Wagner's music, it's better than it sounds. And I think it ended up on a
06:40more positive note than people had feared when Trump first arrived in Ankara.
06:45And as you saw, months of work, of course, goes into organising these summits. As you say, officials are happy
06:50for now. But of course, Trump was very critical of allies like Spain and the UK. Is this really the
06:55end of NATO, do you think, as we know it?
06:57No, I don't believe so. But whether Trump doesn't like NATO or does the messaging changes, I think, you know,
07:04if you look at the trend line, it's been pretty clear now for a decade or so already, which is
07:10that the United States is going to stay in NATO, which is good, but it's going to do a lot
07:14less in terms of holding up the collective defence than allies were used to during the Cold War.
07:19For example, just at the NATO Defence Minister's meeting a couple of days before the Ankara summit, the US Secretary
07:26of War, Pete Hegssef, announced a number of significant reductions in US contributions to the NATO full structure.
07:32You know, only one aircraft carrier now instead of two, one strategic bomber instead of two, far fewer drones, far
07:39fewer fighter aircraft.
07:41And Europe has had to scramble to sort of find in its own arsenals those capabilities to replace the US.
07:49We have the specter of 5000 US troops leaving Germany.
07:53They may, some of them may go to Poland, but it's not certain.
07:57I mean, the good news is that the United States continues to uphold nuclear deterrence for Europe.
08:01That's important and stays in the NATO command structure.
08:04But everybody now is talking about NATO 3.0, whereby they mean a NATO which is going to be run,
08:11financed, resourced, operated.
08:14You know, Europeans in the front line, much more a European show and less an American show than the NATO
08:20we've all been used to from our fathers and grandfathers.
08:24And just on Iran, though, we saw, of course, the war flare up in the last couple of days.
08:30Trump says the ceasefire is over.
08:32Where do we go from here, Jamie Shea?
08:34Well, I think we need to wait and see, because clearly the talks with Iran have not yet been broken
08:40off, even if they're not going anywhere fast.
08:43I think, you know, Trump knows from opinion polling in the United States and even the Senate passing the war
08:48powers resolution that this war is not popular at home, even with his own Republican MAGA base.
08:55The Americans want him to end the war.
08:57And he's got the midterm elections coming up.
08:59So, you know, I don't think he voluntarily wants to get back into a full scale war against Iran.
09:06And for Europe, of course, it's very bad news.
09:08Because if Trump, on the one hand, wants Europe to spend all of this extra money on defence, the last
09:13thing you want to do is tank the European economies with higher oil prices and inflation and higher debt costs,
09:20which are going to make it so much more difficult to fund defence.
09:23And, you know, Europe was sort of hoping for a breathing space with the oil price going down to sixty
09:28dollars a barrel.
09:29It's now up five percent.
09:30You know, who knows where it's going to go?
09:31And therefore, all of the kind of pressures that we had a couple of months ago, including, of course, things
09:36like, you know, fertiliser, not getting out of the Gulf to feed hungry people in Africa.
09:40All of those difficult scenarios are going to return.
09:43But let's wait and see, because I think it's Trump's interest to keep this memorandum of understanding going and talks
09:50with Iran going.
09:51And therefore, you know, both sides may choose after, you know, a flurry of activity to de-escalate once more.
09:58OK, Jamie Shea, always a pleasure to have you on the programme.
10:00Thank you so much for joining us live this morning.
10:02And now for the humanitarian lens on all of this, we're joined here in the studio by Jean-Nicolas Beuze
10:07from the UNHCR here in Brussels.
10:10Good morning. Thank you so much for joining us.
10:12And of course, as we're reporting there, the war in Iran really flaring up again.
10:15What does that mean for your job and for, of course, migration flows and the humanitarian aspect?
10:19So every time that bombs are being dropped or drones, attacks occur, we have people who are forced to leave
10:26their home,
10:27whether it's in Iran, in Ukraine or in Sudan.
10:30So we can expect that some people last night had to flee their home because they were destroyed.
10:35But also many others will flee as a preventative measure because they are afraid that they are the next target.
10:41What we saw in the case of Iran, specifically earlier this year, is that more, according to official figure,
10:47more than one million people were displaced.
10:49Many to rural areas to avoid the urban centre, which were targeted, but have no come back.
10:56Except that for 150,000 families who have their house destroyed, they will not be able to come back.
11:03So that's where the humanitarian, UNHCR and others have to step in to provide some support with the authorities in
11:10the case of Iran.
11:11And how are you providing that support when cuts are being, you know, there's many cutbacks to your organisation.
11:16We're hearing as well Trump saying that the bombing could get, quote, much worse.
11:21Every time we have to make choice, we have to decide, we have to prioritise who we are going to
11:26help.
11:26Are we going to help the mothers with three children or the mothers with seven children?
11:30Are we going to help the elderly people who have no support?
11:34Every time it's a choice, because indeed, over the last two years, three years, the humanitarian partners have seen the
11:42budget put at their disposal by donor countries,
11:46the US, the European Union, the Gulf countries, really shrink to almost less than half of what we had three
11:53years ago.
11:54And the needs are continuing rising.
11:56So therefore, we are unable to help everyone.
11:58And meanwhile, it's already one month since the EU's migration and asylum pact has come into force.
12:03What has changed in your view?
12:04So we will see the test is really the implementation in every of the 27 member states.
12:10We will see whether it will make the decision faster, fairer, whether it will make the life of the decision
12:15maker easier and less costly for us, the taxpayer,
12:19because it will be a more rapid decision.
12:22But also whether the principle, the protection principle behind the asylum system in Europe will help.
12:29Are we going to continue not detaining people or people who seek asylum will be systematically detained?
12:35Are we going to give them legal aid so they can navigate the asylum procedure, which are quite complex?
12:41Or are we going to leave them alone, figuring out what needs to be done with appeal and appeal, which
12:48are very costly for us?
12:49So the test now is really in the implementation.
12:51And a big focus now, of course, on returns.
12:53And we saw technical talks take place recently here between officials from the Commission and the Taliban.
12:58What was your view of this encounter?
12:59So what we need to remind everyone is that a country may be in different phases.
13:06We are speaking about Afghanistan with the Taliban.
13:08We are speaking about Syria with a new regime and probably more hope for people to return.
13:13And we are speaking about Sudan, where the return is not possible because it's a dire situation with the conflict
13:20and famine increasing.
13:21What is really important for the European Union is to keep the principle that nobody shall be returned to a
13:28possible situation of harm.
13:30And the harm can come from different actors, from different situations.
13:34So before sending anyone to Afghanistan, Syria or Sudan, we need to ensure that there is an individual assessment.
13:42Will this person be able to regain control over their life without being put at risk?
13:48OK.
13:49Jean-Nicolas Boos, thank you so much for coming on to us here and being our guest on Europe Today.
13:53But now moving on to another story.
13:55The EU's anti-fraud wing, OLAV, has caught an international trafficking operation responsible for counterfeit condoms.
14:01They're untested, uncontrolled and unsafe.
14:04Jakob Yanis has the story.
14:08It would be an easy topic to laugh at if it wasn't a matter of public health.
14:12Brussels' anti-fraud investigators at OLAV just broke up an international smuggling group.
14:17And criminals tried to slip their illegal cargo past European border checks using a bizarre disguise.
14:23They declared their shipments as children's toys to evade customs controls.
14:28But there was a problem because the boxes did not contain toys at all.
14:33The cross-border network distributed more than 200,000 counterfeit condoms across the continent.
14:40Smugglers targeted three specific nations as their main entry hubs.
14:44Romania, Serbia and Spain.
14:46And when the border teams intercepted the fakes, it turned out they all come from a single source in China.
14:52And the total black market value of this illegal shipment sits at over 200,000 euros.
14:57But you see, potential health costs will be much higher.
15:00The European Anti-Fraud Office warns these fakes are untested and unsafe.
15:05Or, in plain English, they can spread infections and cause unplanned pregnancies.
15:10But there is also a bigger picture here.
15:13Fake condoms are just one part of the massive black market boom across the continent.
15:18And I'll give you an example.
15:20Last year, a global Interpol crackdown seized 57 million euros worth of counterfeit medicines.
15:26And this part is important.
15:29When it comes to Europe, the main targets were fake weight loss pens and cosmetic and performance enhancing peptide supplements.
15:36For distribution, criminals do not even need to use the dark web anymore.
15:40They simply flood social media to sell their knockoffs straight to your feed.
15:45But back to our fake condoms.
15:47Brussels claims this raid proves European enforcement works.
15:51But it also shows how criminals exploit the system.
15:54The continent still remains open to black market fakes.
15:57And with countless cases going unnoticed, it might look like Europe is left without protection.
16:07Yeah, I could be honest there.
16:08And now it's time for our World Cup segment.
16:16Well, following a day without World Cup action, after 27 days of games, goals and emotions,
16:22just eight teams remain.
16:24Six European, one African and one from the Americas.
16:27One side will be eliminated every day until Sunday.
16:30So here's four things that you should know about the quarterfinals.
16:34First, France probably remains the favourites.
16:36But standing in their way are Morocco, who, just like in 2022, are the only African team left at this
16:43stage.
16:44This time, though, they arrive as African champions and have a much more mature side.
16:47So expect a very good fight.
16:50Then Spain, who's the only team yet to concede a goal, with Unai Simone breaking the record for the longest
16:55run without conceding in the tournament's history.
16:58The question now, of course, can Belgium end that run?
17:01Now, the Red Devils definitely have some renewed confidence after knocking out one of the tournament's co-hosts, the United
17:07States.
17:08They've also faced Spain in the World Cup twice, losing in 1990 and winning in 1986 with a penalty shootout.
17:15And third, one team will be playing its first ever World Cup quarterfinals.
17:19And that's, of course, Norway.
17:21They've risen 12 places in FIFA's World Cup ranking since the start of the tournament, from 31st to 19th.
17:27If they beat England, they could enter the top 10.
17:31The clash will see two of the tournament's deadliest strikers go head-to-head.
17:34I'm talking, of course, about Erling Haaland and Harry Kane.
17:37So that is a match not to be missed.
17:39And finally, Messi.
17:41After leading Argentina to a late victory over Egypt with a goal and an assist,
17:45he became the very first player to score in nine consecutive World Cup matches.
17:50Messi is the tournament's all-time assist hero,
17:52and he's the first player, aged 30 or over, to score eight goals at a single World Cup.
17:58What record is left for him to break and can he keep it going against Switzerland?
18:02Stay tuned and enjoy the games.
18:04But that brings this edition of Europe Today to an end.
